WIS EAST students Bailey, Izzy, and Hayden toured the Odell McCallum Community Center in Wynne today with Center Director Jeremy Bailey. They offered their thoughts on a project to enhance the center's preparedness for future emergencies similar to the recent tornado. EAST students will work on practical aspects of the project such as designing storage, creating sleeping quarters, and providing alternative power. The goal is to transform the center into a comprehensive emergency shelter. Stay tuned for more updates and photos of their progress!

Mrs. Vaught's Careers Class Job Shadowing! Last week, Mrs. Vaught's Careers class had the opportunity to job shadow at local businesses and organizations. This was an excellent opportunity for students to learn about different career paths and get a firsthand look at what it's like to work in different fields. Students learned about the day-to-day responsibilities of the jobs they shadowed and gained valuable insights into the education and training required for these careers.
